Troubled homeless shelter regroups

Our Place, a homeless shelter in the basement of Morristown's First Baptist Church, has fallen on hard times. But the organization has scraped together enough resources to continue through October, reports The Daily Record.

In November, several church leaders said they cut off funding to the center and stopped sending potential clients there because they were hearing complaints from people seeking help from the organization and volunteers associated with it. . . Officials stressed the need for more people to join the board, serve as volunteers and give donations, and more importantly, direction. . .

Plans include naming a volunteer executive director, launching a fund drive and recruiting volunteers from area colleges, the paper reports.
